Short Bio
I am a Researcher, Lecturer and Docent in Political Science at the Department of Government, Uppsala University, where I have worked since 2012. I am also Docent at the University of Jyväskylä, from where I received my PhD in 2011. I have previously studied politics, anthropology, history and classics in Greece, Italy, Denmark and Belgium.
In 2014-16, I held a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship at Uppsala University. The project focused on negative democratic representation, the idea that citizens may identify negatively with politicians and take action to remove them from office.
My broader research interests are in democratic theory, electoral politics, parliamentary rhetoric and conceptual history. I have authored The History of Compulsory Voting in Europe (New York: Routledge 2015) and co-edited Equal Representation (with Lisa Hill, CRISPP Special issue 19, 3, 2016) and Rhetoric, Politics and Conceptual Change (with Kari Palonen, 2011). My articles have appeared or are forthcoming in journals such as History of Political Thought, Redescriptions, Political Studies, Constellations and Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy, along with many book chapters and public commentaries. Since 2016, I am co-editor of Redescriptions: Political Thought, Conceptual History and Feminist Theory.
I have taught courses in democratic theory, comparative politics (electoral representation), conceptual history and EU political theory both at undergraduate and postgraduate level in Uppsala and Jyväskylä, and have been a visiting lecturer in Rome, Helsinki, Berlin and Athens.
